That hindsight of "I was looking for trouble, and thank God I never found it" is so true to entirely too many people who don't quite realize it yet.
James Hill Preach.
You are wise. I'm a big sweetheart compared to the gorillas that run the streets....the streets were my home too.
YES!!!!!!!
@@leam89 you're an idiot.
@@leam89 Not necessarily. In that one situation, the same thing would have happened to him as anyone else.
I’ve met John at a party and he was the coolest, most sincere person I’ve ever met.
Got drunk with Goodman in 88 place called Blondies 79st Broadway.He was shooting with Pacino in Sea of Love.Anyway we had a blast.John did impressions sang, closed the place at 430am Don't know how he feels about it now, but he was a gentleman.Only knew him from the movie Raising Arizona.He was relatively unknown.Those were great days John.Dont ever forget the fun of the 80s
Aww that sounds like fun. I’ve never heard anything bad about him. Even with his alcoholism, he wasn’t making the tabloids like many others.
Very raw and honest guy. You gotta respect that.
Absolutely. I'm just projecting here but it does sound like he had some good therapy (in whatever form).
Always respect that!!!! So happy he made a choice in 1975 thanks to his big brother giving him $1,000!!!
I wouldn't fight a drunk John Goodman in a park.
not exactly a lightweight and does not dabble in pacifism when drunk
I would just to say i got beat up by Walter
I don't understand Big Dan. lol
johnnyhb89 he was big solid build dude
big smoke that's a quote from oh brother where art thou. "Big" Dan Tate (John Goodman) is beating the hell out of fellows friend with a big piece of wood while framing it as some sort of free lesson. It is obvious that John Goodman character has lured them out there to bush wack them (literally) and steal their money. But George Clooney hasn't caught on , he says I don't understand Big Dan before getting hit side the head with the same solid limb.
John Goodman has always been my celebrity crush. Overweight, slim, clean & sober, not sober. I think he is an excellent actor & I've seen him interviewed many times & he is kind & humble..... AND that is why he has ALWAYS been my celebrity crush :)
From a hick in Illinois, I'm glad to see you doing good these days. A true man and gentleman. Something you don't see very much of these days. Love ya John.
John Goodman as Walter in the big Lebowski is the greatest role in the history of cinema
I am a little Urban Achiever ..but "Walter" had many great roles ...Barton Fink ....Flight...
I respect John for his accepting of his alcoholism and his substance abuse. Acknowledge it,address it move on.
FW- It's very hard for addicts to figure out the "move on" part. We all acknowledge it, but addiction stays with us forever. We will always have it
@@texastoast5202 fact.
So honest.
My dad went to school with John Goodman's wife in a small Louisiana town, and I myself was an addict for 20 years, and when I have cravings I really do think about him and his sobriety. He helps me stay sober
My poor john goodman is aging....im a biracial woman and for ME- ROSEANNE show was always and still IS MY HOLY GRAIL AND SAVING GRACE. kept me ok out of hard times. Thank you john and the crew
I don't want to offend you..but..what is biracial? It's not a term I know....and..I loved that series too
@@helenreidt3315 dont be ignorant, look it up
Hi Sidnee,
Guess what? We all age. Its happening to you right now.
Beauty fades, stupid is forever. Never forget it, sweetheart.
It's because of his weight loss.
Makes everything he's in better.
This man is Oscar ready, just the right movie...
He doesn’t need an Oscar to define his legacy, the Oscars are a joke now anyways. This man is an absolute legend
there were a LOT of movies he deserved an oscar for....
John Goodman is a damn legend. Hands down have respected this man my entire life.
Wow I mean did you you did you live with this man did you go to school with this man did you work with this man how could you respect this man to the point where he affected your entire life I mean how would you know enough about him to even make this comment unless you did spend time with him
"Some people would be happy to have that food, like John Goodmans family".😂😂😂
As great as Roseanne Barr was in Roseanne, Dan Connor made the show and one of my favorite television characters of all time! Thank you Mr. Goodman! Not sure if there was ever a better show at capturing the struggles of lower, middle class families in the 80s as Roseanne.
Perhaps one of the most underrated actors in our lifetime, he can play anything from a grieving father to a complete psycho.
I’m enjoying these clips. This guy actually lets them speak. Asks a question and allows them to answer, and continue.
This series is so so great
I remember a few years back seeing him in Blueberry Hill on The Loop. He could barely walk out of the restaurant he was so drunk. Right outside that restaurant is his star on the St. Louis walk of fame.
So glad he survived that and made it to the other side.
Lol when the music started around 2:25 I thought my phone was ringing.
I never took drugs in my life but loved cigarettes and beer. I quit smoking a year ago and haven't drank since New Years Eve. Its guys like John that motivated me. He's an actual legend.
That's amazing. But also Alcohol is technically a drug.
abhinav anand not technically,litterally
psst...nicotine is just as addictive, if not more than heroin.
I drank for about 15 years of my life due to growing up with domestic violence and then losing my mum to cancer. She suffered a lot because of my dad so losing her just filled me with SO much pain, guilt and anger. It gave me this sort of "NOBODY will fuck with me!" attitude because, looking back, I told myself that NOBODY will EVER make me feel that pain again and if they did I'd destroy them. It really does make you feel invincible. But I was, and still am, a lot like my mum.. Very kind, loving, forgiving, compassionate and empathetic to all life. Part of me hated being this terrible angry person because I knew it wasn't who I am in my heart. I thought alcohol was saving me from the pain but it was drowning me. I lost SO much because of it and saw a LOT of darkness because of it. I gave it up 4 years ago and now have more in my life than I EVER had. My life isn't perfect but I'm who I want to be. I've been a singer, pianist, musician, writer and traditional artist for 27 years. I've been a digital artist, 3D model artist and sculptor, texture artist and animator, using said skills to work with games engines (including Halo CE engine, Source, Unreal 3, Unreal 4 and Unity), for 18 years. I also do a lot of mechanical engineering. When I was drinking though, those things didn't matter to me because I had no motivation... I've got it all back again now ^.^
Awesome! Great job!
This show is so good...
Nah, I've been a doorman for years and I never once met a drunk that could fight. They can swing but it's always pathetic, untimed and telegraphed. The problem with drunks is they don't feel it when you hit them back and they have no clue when their beat. :-)
and thats something to Brag about?
Good doormen, dont hit, if They don need to,...stop "showing off" and do your job, for you Jaggy, i would suggest a alternative occupation. You DONT hit drunks
Incredible. What a story. So inspirational to hear him talk about those times and seeing how he came out. LOVE it.
glad your alive and successful. you are 100 percent on target about being scared. gigs are like two or three months apart when they happen at all. your story is inspirational to anyone on the verge of ditching the life dream for survival's sake.
Everyone falls apart. What matters is if you can pull it together and move forward. When necessary, ask for help. JG has demonstrated an incredible depth and breadth in his acting.
That crossroads time in life that he describes here is what I miss the most and wish I could go back to... it was uncertain, dark at times, but optimistic. I've lived my future now and it hasn't been as exciting or fun as I hoped it would be back then. I'd give anything to go back to the days of 'holding the trade paper and being the coldest I've ever ever been' , not knowing if I was going to make it or not, but not caring at the same time.
Lucky Social Media wasn't around when he was around to quash what brilliance still lay beneath those drunken outbursts.
Very, very... well said.
John Goodman is amazing. I have almost every show and movie he is in. I love him
So glad he was open to new beginnings, followed his heart....an intelligent organizing force recovered⚘✊
Thank you for this clip
Can't believe he can still turn on that BOOMING voice. Great set of pipes on him
And he talked about cocaine when?
Part 2, this is part 1.
All thru the interview, man. Because you were out of coke when you wrote that, you panicked and missed the references. Don't sweat it. lol ;-p
John Goodman is a sweet, sweet man.
Who gives a fuck what you think?
ThunderAppeal who gives a fuck about what you think about his thinking?
@@natedagreat19 You do. Thats why you commented.
ThunderAppeal says the original commenter 😂😂😂
Some might say he's the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules.
Central Park in the 80's was a very different place than it is now.
A lot of hoes and prostitutes in the 70s
Intersting to know👍
When John Goodman stated how cold it was in New York City, this verse of song came to mind:
"And I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone
Goin' home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me, leadin' me
Goin' home"
" The Boxer", by Simon & Garfunkel
70s to late 80 was a hell of a party / blur for many of us thank God for my sobriety today
He's a national treasure.
Love u John Goodman biggest fan .thank u for sharing your story u are helping another good man have my battle with alcoholism been clean for 15years
He's my favorite TV dad ♥️
Beautiful ending words by John.
I've grown to really admire and appreciate his work. I liked him in Patriots Day. And, kudos for dropping 100lbs too
One of my all time favourite actors 👊🏻
one of my fav actors, one of the most fascinating to watch
I've talked to John Goodman in passing on a few occasions. What you see here is really what you get in the real world. He's a really nice person. He is also very considerate to other people. When I talked to him the first time I knew right away that he was the real deal. That he is truly a genuinely nice person. I always thought how interesting it is that he literally lives up to his surname. It would be such a pleasure to cross his path again. Because he is truly a Good Man. :-I
That’s always nice to hear.
love goodman real man.
He is such a great actor!!! I hope he finds a few more gems like Barton Fink
Love this Actor and Man..
I'm not even a huge movie buff ,but if johns in it its time well spent!
He is still alive! I got to say he is just an amazing guy.
I would bet that he is a very sensitive empathic man who had to use to feel safe. I love him!!!
The part of this interview that really stuck with me was John talking about how cold he was
Still one of my favorite greatest actor.
This is excellent, very honest.
I just subscribed because of this video
When King Ralph talks, I listen.
And people do this every day around the world. Heartbreaking
Everyone has choices in life.
Better get his star on the walk of fame
Hes an amazing actor. So happy things worked out for him, was hoping he was going to throw the tool interviewing him a beating.
I never knew this about John. It actually helps hearing this as I struggle with my own demons. Good post
The same
I do wish all these people who chop up their videos would put a link to the entire video. This looks good. Thanks for the sample, now I'm ready to eat the whole thing.
Inside Sam's head --> "Look intrigued, look intrigued, look intrigued."

I wouldn’t screw with drunk John Goodman in Central Park
Looking for a fight in Central Park is about the least dangerous way to do it in Manhattan.
@@dmerls8571 what was nyc like in the 70s
I wish I did just to say I got my ass kicked by the dude's best friend
One of the all time great!
I did the exact same thing as Mr Goodman for 3 darks years of my life. From when I was 23 until I was 25. When I was 23, I got suspended from university because I partied so hard from 20-22, so many of my friendships collapsed, lost my self-esteem, entered a toxic relationship and all my goals and aspirations evaporated as I fully devoted myself to blurring it all my misery with alcohol. For the next two years, up until I finally finished my bachelors degree, broke up with my ex and regained some sense of who I was again, every weekend I would get drunk at home then go downtown and provoke or instigate fights. I'm fortunate that I escaped from all the confrontations I got into unscathed. But it did end up really bad once, ironically it was the one time that I was NOT drunk yet decided to pick an altercation.
Truly a dreadful position to be in life. Terrible way to spend my early 20s. I'm 26 now and having to clean up the disaster I have made in my wake until now.
So glad you managed to get out of the situation ❤️
@@lalineaa Still not totally out of it, but my priorities are more or less realigned.
I wish you good luck 👍👍!
(Well, I know it's not about luck really, it's hard work to change path and clean up "old" mess.)
Combination of being invincible and insecure. Thankfully some good comes out of those that are lucky enough in surviving that period in one’s life.
Over the line Donny! You're entering a world of pain!
Jake Ross mark an eight dude....
@@spike7038 ... Jake Ross:
This isn't Nam!
I had the John Goodman dream twice. It was wonderful.
I can relate to this. A good guy.
Humble guy still!!!
I’m no actor, but like many I’m sure, I can relate to that moment. Crazy cold, alone, desperate, rudderless, wondering where it all went wrong. Kind of him to share that moment.
I really like him. Authentic!
Anyone know what season this is?
Legendary man. Legendary actor.
I look for fights too haha
And it was FUCKING cold. Perfectly delivered
Very sorry, I thought sharing opinions was what the comments section on CZcams was for.
Damn it! i liked the wrong comment. Just thumbed the first "fucking" comment i saw :P And now that sounds really wrong. Completely agree. As a Canadian, I can say without hesitation, this is the correct delivery for rivet nipple cold.
Really admire his authenticity
GREAT actor! LOVE ya John :)
Imagine seeing a drunk raging John Goodman walking thru central park trying to fuck someone up.lmao
74th and Amsterdam was a hopping neighborhood!
Countless roles but the coach in revenge of the nerds was great when I was a kid
John Goodman! Love!
Can you imagine a drunk John Goodman swinging on you outta nowhere
Sulley!!!!!!!!!!!
Swearing during an interview? "OVER THE LINE!" 😁
....Is this Not a League Tournament?...am i crazy?.... Mark it Zero Dude!"....
I'm stuck in one image of him as an exterminator. He finally did kill that spider!
Mr. Goodman, please write a book!!
Yes!
This man is a legend!
Hes such a good actor
I love you John.
1:50 "Fucking Cold".
LEGEND!!!!! LOVE THAT MAN!!
i never got mugged in new york city either and i am happy to say i left in 1975
richard none Damn I remember those days and I would just visit a lot!!
I landed there in 77. I actually worked in a shitty little recording studio in the heart of times square Right in the building with the famous huge Coca Cola Sign. Man was THAT an education. I finally couldn't take it anymore and left in '91 for LaLa land.
Smokey this is not Nam, this is bowling, there are rules!
great john

Great great GREAT actor!
